About me

I'm a psychotherapist in private practice since 2008. My aim is to get deeper into with what matters most to my clients with warmth, dedication and a non judgemental attitude. The ultimate goal is the long term well-being and emotional resilience of my clients.

Depending on the nature of the difficulties experienced, I can work short-term (usually around 6-12 sessions) or with an open-ended contract when more in-depth therapeutic work is needed.

I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy as well as couples therapy. I work with respect and understanding of different cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and sexual orientations and I have experience of working with same sex couples.

I'm Certified in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy ('EFT') and this approach informs my work with couples. It's an effective, evidence based approach designed to help couples overcome conflict and distressing ways of relating by developing a stronger emotional connection (for more detailed descriptions of the approach, you will find a link at the bottom of the page with my articles on the subject). It's a short-term approach which works well for most couples and usually produces lasting positive changes in the relationship within 10-20 sessions.

Based on my work as Emotionally Focused Couple Therapist, I have also developed a programme of Relationship Coaching for people who are either single and looking for a new partner, or in the early stages of a new relationship and hoping to break old negative patterns.

Apart from running my private practice, significant past clinical experience from 2006 included working as a psychotherapist and Clinical Team Leader with well-known organisations such as the NHS and BUPA, and a number of London based charities.

I offer sessions to individuals and couples online via Skype or FaceTime when meeting face-to-face at my consulting room is not possible.

I offer sessions in central London on Saturdays.
